Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 248:

As Elyse walked, she gradually composed herself. She asked Jayden calmly, “Where have you been? Why are you back so late?”

Jayden reassured her by gently patting her hand, saying, “I faced a bit of trouble, but it’s all sorted now. I’m here to stand by you, so you don’t need to worry about anything now.”

Elyse didn’t say anything. She received no real explanation, and Jayden seemed to dismiss the issue too casually. He didn’t understand how vulnerable she had felt waiting for him.

“Jayden, where were you? Why didn’t you inform me?” Elyse could no longer hide her disappointment, feeling defeated.

Jayden tried to soothe her again, “Don’t worry about it. I haven’t betrayed your trust. Something unexpected came up. I’ll make it up to you later.”

Elyse inquired, “What unexpected thing happened to you?”

Clearly irritated by her persistent questioning, Jayden did not mask his annoyance and responded, “I’ve already mentioned that it’s not important. Why do you keep bringing it up?”

Elyse stopped in her tracks. “I’m your wife, aren’t I? Shouldn’t I be aware of what’s going on with you?”
